Glad to see Lance has increased the 1985 GVWR over our 2017 by 500 pounds, all of the improvements they have made take more umpth to get it down the road. I like the generator compartment immensely as my tailgate does not open flat when using my E2 Equalizer hitch and lifting my generator up and over the bed of my truck is not as fun as it used to be. We are about to retire next spring and am thinking of upgrading to the 2375 which I have noted that Lance also upgraded the GVWR 400 pounds, still within 80% of our half-ton towing capability. I did not notice the location of the solar controller on your 2021 and did not see any of the two optional solar modules present in relation to where our solar module was factory installed, nor the exact placement of the new inverter. We run an eCommerce business in addition to our full-time property manager responsibilities, but look forward to seeing the 2021 changes of some of the other Lance's including the 2375. Thanks again for reviewing the 1985 updates and changes.

@wallykilburg3798 4 жыл бұрын
I do like this trailer. Its interior does seem a bit dated and something like the Royal decor would be fresh. Great options tho with lithium batteries and an inverter. Smart. It would be a journey since I’m outside Chicago but I’m pretty sure if I go with a Lance, I’m heading your way.

@kasze115 3 жыл бұрын
I agree. Lance needs to discontinue that maple interior for all of its models. The driftwood is so much better, and for that price it shouldn’t look so dated. Also, with all of the quality details, what’s up with the plastic drawers?
@moduc996 4 жыл бұрын
Not a fan of the Murphy bed because it limits you to one mattress. If you want change the mattress to fit your preference, there are few manufacturers out there that have a mattress that folds in half. Other than that, Lance is a great RV!
@JayRSwan 4 жыл бұрын
It does limit your options a littel. U can get memory foam also. It just doesn't fold down as flat. What I love about this model with this bed is how big it feels inside as an 18' trailer she feels like a 26 with the bed put away. I have entertained 6 people inside without feeling crowded on rainy days while camping. Good luck and have fun!

Are the optional 190W panels still offered on these or have they gone to something different for 2021? Also, how big are those battery trays on each side?
